CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION
The angle grinder is a hand-held power tool powered by a battery
pack. It is driven by a DC brushless motor, transmitting the rotation
via a geared angle gear. It can be used for both grinding and cutting.
This type of power tool is widely used for removing all types of burrs
from the surface of metal parts, surface treatment of welds, cutting
through thin-walled pipes and small metal parts, etc. With the
appropriate accessories, the angle grinder can be used not only for
cutting and grinding, but also for cleaning e.g. rust, paint coatings,
etc.
Its areas of use include extensive repair and construction work
related to interior fittings, room adaptations, etc.
The appliance is intended for dry use only, not for polishing.
Do not misuse the power tool.
Misuse.
• Do not handle materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is
carcinogenic.
• Do not work with materials whose dusts are flammable or explosive.
When working with the power tool, sparks are generated which may
ignite the vapours emitted.
• Cut-off wheels must not be used for grinding work. Cut-off wheels
work on the face and grinding with the side surface of such a wheel
risks damaging the wheel, resulting in personal injury to the
operator.
OPERATION OF THE DEVICE
REMOVING / INSERTING THE BATTERY
• Press the battery fixing button and slide the battery into the socket
Fig. A5.
• Insert the charged battery into the handle holder until the battery
retaining button audibly engages.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The device is supplied with a partially charged battery. The battery
should be charged in conditions where the ambient temperature is
0 0
4 C - 40 C. A new battery or one that has not been used for a long
period of time will reach full power capability after approximately 3
- 5 charge and discharge cycles.
• Remove the battery from the device.
• Plug the charger into a mains socket (230 V AC).
• Insert the battery into the charger .Check that the battery is properly
seated (inserted all the way).
• When the charger is plugged into a mains socket (230 V AC), the
green LED on the charger will light up to indicate that the voltage is
connected.
• When the battery is placed in the charger, a red LED will light up to
indicate that the battery is being charged.
• At the same time, the green battery charge status LEDs light up
pulsatingly in different patterns.
When the battery is charged, the LED on the charger lights up green
and all the battery charge status LEDs light up continuously. After
some time, the battery charge status LEDs turn off.
The battery should not be charged for more than 8 hours. Exceeding
this time may damage the battery cells. The charger will not switch
off automatically when the battery is fully charged. The green LED
on the charger will remain lit. The battery charge sta tus LED will
turn off after a period of time. Disconnect the power supply before
removing the battery from the charger socket. Avoid consecutive
short charges. Do not recharge batteries after short use. A
significant decrease in the time between necessary recharges
indicates that the battery is worn out and should be replaced.
Batteries become warm during the charging process. Do not
undertake work immediately after charging - wait until the battery
has reached room temperature. This will prevent damage to the
battery.
BATTERY CHARGE STATUS INDICATION
The battery is equipped with a charge status indication (3 LEDs).
To check the charge status of the battery, press the battery charge
status indicator button. When all LEDs are lit, the battery charge
level is high. The lighting of 2 LEDs indicates partial discharge. The
fact that only 1 diode is lit indicates that the battery is exhausted
and needs to be recharged.
INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE SHIELD
The blade guard protects the operator from debris, accidental
contact with the work tool or sparks. It should always be fitted with
extra care taken to ensure that its covering part faces the operator.
• The design of the blade guard attachment allows tool-free
adjustment of the guard to the optimum position.
• Loosen and pull back the lever fig. A6 on the disc guard fig. A8.
• Turn the disc guard Fig. A8 to the desired position.
• Lock by lowering the lever Fig. A6.
• Removing and adjusting the disc guard is done in reverse order to
its installation.
TOOL REPLACEMENT
• Work gloves must be worn during tool changing operations.
• The spindle lock button fig. A1 is only used to lock the spindle of the
grinder when mounting or dismounting the work tool. It must not be
used as a brake button while the disc is rotating. Doing so may
damage the grinder or injure the user.
DISC MOUNTING
• In the case of grinding or cutting discs with a thickness of less than
3 mm, the nut of the outer flange fig. A7 must be screwed on flat on
the disc side.
• Press the spindle lock button Fig. A1.
• Insert the special key (supplied) into the holes of the outer flange.
• Turn the key - loosen and remove the outer flange Fig. A7.
• Place the disc so that it is pressed against the surface of the inner
flange, fig. A7.
• Screw on the outer flange, fig. A7, and tighten slightly with the
special spanner.
• Removal of the discs is carried out in the reverse order to assembly.
When assembling, the disc should be pressed against the surface
of the inner flange and centred on its sub-flange.
FITTING OF WORKING TOOLS WITH THREADED HOLE
• Press the spindle lock button Fig. A1
• Remove the previously mounted implement - if fitted.
• Remove both flanges - inner flange and outer flange Fig. A7 - before
installation.
• Screw the threaded part of the working tool onto the spindle and
tighten slightly.
• Disassembly of threaded bore working tools is in reverse order to
assembly.
MOUNTING OF ANGLE GRINDER IN ANGLE GRINDER STAND
It is permissible to use the angle grinder in a dedicated tripod for angle
grinders, provided it is fitted correctly in accordance with the tripod
manufacturer's assembly instructions.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
Check the condition of the grinding wheel before using it. Do not use
chipped, cracked or otherwise damaged grinding wheels. A worn wheel
or brush should be replaced immediately with a new one before use.
When you have finished working, always switch off the grinder and wait
until the working tool has come to a complete standstill. Only then can
the sander be put away. Do not brake the rotating grinding wheel by
pressing it against the workpiece.
• Never overload the grinder. The weight of the power tool exerts
sufficient pressure to operate the tool effectively. Overloading and
excessive pressure can cause the power tool to break dangerously.
• If the sander falls during operation, it is essential to inspect and, if
necessary, replace the working tool if it is found to be damaged or
deformed.
• Never strike the work tool against the work material.
